ok. I see. We have neon instructions enabled by default in xilinx toolchain. I have sent the patch which create and add PLATFORM_RELFLAGS += -mfpu=neon to config.mk.
This should solve the problem with compilation. No problem to add this patch as the first in this serial not to break bisectability of the tree.
I think you can add something like,
.fpu neon-vfpv4 # or whatever FPU is appropriate.
to the lowlevel_init.S and then you can use the 'fmxr' instruction even without compiler flags (and of course gas needs to know about it). It makes sense if the platform turns on floating point by default and you need to disable it in lowlevel_init.S and don't want anyone else to be using floating point.
... but I am not sure what exactly is going on so maybe it is not a good fit here?
Fwiw, Bill Pringlemeir.
